Frequently Asked Questions

Is fire safety training a legal requirement?

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Responsible Person must ensure employees receive adequate fire safety training. This includes training on fire prevention, emergency procedures, and the use of firefighting equipment. Training must be provided on induction, when risks change, and refreshed regularly.

How often should fire safety training be refreshed?

While there is no fixed legal interval, best practice recommends annual refresher training for general fire safety awareness. Fire marshal/warden training should be refreshed every 3 years, or sooner if there are significant changes to premises, procedures, or personnel. High-risk environments may require more frequent training.

How many fire marshals/wardens do I need?

The number depends on your premises size, layout, occupancy, and risk level. A common guideline is one fire marshal per 50 people per floor, but complex buildings or those with vulnerable occupants may need more. Your fire risk assessment should determine the appropriate number for your specific circumstances.

Can you train staff who work night shifts or weekends?

Yes. We offer flexible training delivery to accommodate shift patterns and business operations. Training can be scheduled at times that suit your workforce, including early morning, evening, or weekend sessions. We also offer e-learning options for maximum flexibility.

Do you provide certificates after training?

Yes. All participants who successfully complete our training courses receive certificates confirming their attendance and competency. Certificates include the delegate name, course title, date, and trainer details. Digital certificates and training records can also be provided for your compliance documentation.
